The Model 29, based on S&W's N
(large) revolver frame, was first introduced in 1955. It remained primarily the
province of handgun enthusiasts, some law enforcement personnel and hunters
until 1971, when Clint Eastwood
made it famous as "the most powerful handgun in the world" in the movie
Dirty Harry.

After the movie's release Smith & Wesson
could not keep up with the demand for the Model 29.

The 'Classic' Model 29 was available with
4", 6", 8-3/8". and, later, 10 5/8" barrel lengths as standard models. Other
barrel lengths were available either by special order from Smith & Wesson's
Custom Shop or custom built by gunsmiths.
